Kieren Gaul, owner for Big Red Cats, Canada for many years and employer of many ski guides - delves deep into the world of ski guiding from both angles (client and potential ski guide trainee/wannabe). We discuss; how you get into ski guiding, the pay , caveats and opportunities. We look at the best and worst countries in terms of ski guide standards, why it's good to hire a ski guide on a snow holiday, what questions to ask, what standard of skier / snowboarder derives a benefit and so much more.
